Luovuttu

Luovuttu is a Finnish word that translates to "given up," "relinquished," or "abandoned" in English. It is the past active participle of the verb luopua, which means to give up, relinquish, or renounce something. The word can be used in various contexts, describing the act of ceasing to possess, control, or pursue something.

For instance, one might say "hän luovuttu tehtävästään" which means "he gave up his position." This implies a voluntary act of relinquishing a role or responsibility. Similarly, "luovuttu toivosta" translates to "given up hope," indicating a state of despair or resignation. In a legal or property context, "luovuttu omaisuudesta" could mean "property that has been relinquished" or "abandoned property."

The nuances of "luovuttu" depend heavily on the accompanying noun or phrase it modifies. It generally carries a sense of finality or a deliberate decision to let go. The word itself does not imply any specific reason for the act of giving up, whether it be due to difficulty, lack of interest, or external pressure. It simply denotes the completed action of relinquishment.
